		Thanks for all your contributions to CFD this year, ~~even~~ especially when we respectfully disagree. RevelationDirect (talk) 13:45, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and same to you -- and apologies for the late response, I've been recovering from a mild concussion since December but I think I am ready to begin editing again and hopefully have a similarly packed year of contributions in 2026. --Habst (talk) 18:25, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green reviewing drive

Hello Habst:

This month, February 2026, WikiProject Women in Green is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions and guidelines and feel free to ask for a mentor to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!

February 2026

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Template:Big Ten Conference track and field navbox. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. Thanks. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 15:09, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Zackmann08, I meant to remove the group2 params so they wouldn't conflict. Done in Special:Diff/1340415554. --Habst (talk) 15:50, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Habst,

We have a lot of similar type drafts that are due to be deleted tomorrow. You can see them right here. I'm not sure if you want to continue to work on them. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:41, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Liz, thank you for the notice. After talking with some others about this I think a good way to go forward would be to build a freely licensed tool hosted on Toolforge that can automatically compile these lists using both Wikipedia and Wikidata. Until that is done, I'll make a few dummy edits to temporarily keep these, although to be honest they're already quite out of date because tools like XfDCloser don't update page targets in draftspace when one of the thousands of pages linked to is moved, which happens every day. --Habst (talk) 22:49, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, this is done here now: https://olympians.toolforge.org/ Thanks for the reminder! --Habst (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
